Do not look up early symptoms of ALS. It's scary the number of boxes you can check.

Already went through that about 2 years ago now. I had some numbness in my right foot and I noticed my calves were twitching all the time, and got to where I felt it trying to sleep. Then felt some weird numbness in my hand. So I went to a neurologist, who checked me out and ordered an MRI. He was more thinking tumor but the muscle twitching really sent me spiraling.

MRI was mostly clean but turns out it was probably degenerative disc issues in my neck, and the calf twitching turns out is benign and not that uncommon. I forgot what it's called but he said that's not a sign of ALS and he said the muscle twitching with that is different.

Thats what so damn scary about it is they literally have to rule everything else out before you even know.
